Xeon E5-2687W v3 vs EPYC 74F3 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the EPYC 74F3 is faster than the Xeon E5-2687W v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2687W v3 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2687W v3 has slightly more cores with 10 cores whereas the EPYC 74F3 has 9 cores. It also has more threads than the EPYC 74F3. With our hardware info, we find that the EPYC 74F3 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-2687W v3. A Xeon E5-2687W v3 CPU outputs less heat than a EPYC 74F3 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the EPYC 74F3 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Xeon E5-2687W v3. The EPYC 74F3 also has slightly more L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2687W v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
